Whispering Raindrops fluttering down
Lying in bed absorbing the sound Contemplating back on a day so well spent Bonds with family more strong than cement Molecules of hydrogen twice over with O Coming down wet but starting as snow A blanket of water envelops all underneath If it were to freeze it t'wod be a sheet Worry not about that, not a care in my head Now I do lay me down for mine bed

Departing departed
The time forth draws nigh Sooner than soon It will be goodbye Off to a land both far and wide Off off upon a magic carpet ride Far away places Far and peoples Far away customs Far away features Why forward dark past unto a bright future Why wait till the last to see a new culture Behold with great joy as histories unfold Rewards await those whose choices are bold Depart without anger Remorse and/or pity The departing departed for a entire new city! Wondering if, when, why, or how This new experience qualities endow Past snow and past ice, Past close friends and fam All life does change, tis the way of the land Joyous future memories to embrace with open arms and an open mind Along the way so many are kind Embracing the kindness of strangers in darkest hours Embracing what's called courage whilst others do cower Embracing love of another who beckons "come home" Embracing the release of useless fears that were once known Departing from one place to end in another Departing from family Father, brother, and mother Out to the world as a full grown man Out with the confidence that YES I FUCKING CAN Excitement comes spilling out from each and every side Departing time now Allow me to rise. Fire water raining down
Golden orange droplets emitting a light all their own The mountain eagly awaits their arrival on its dry, rocky flank Clouds glowing bring in answer to the call of the earth Blue lightning stirs in the gassy formations Loud thunder rolls for the beat to clap in An accompanyment to the pitter patter that carresses the earth Drop of fire strike Bursting with color as they hit the ground A rainbow of reds Captivating flashes of brilliance Heat cries out Hissing and pissing in the endless symphony of infinite light The air electric Roaring thunder bursts from the heavens with its old friend lightning The whole sky has a moment of deep electric blue Fire water continues its relentless assault The mountain continues its love affair with the heat A warm bath for the earth A sweet release for the sky A rare treat for the senses Fire water raining down |
